|

This
Agreement covers the Company, any subsidiary of the Company, the
Company’s
parent, any subsidiary of the Company’s parent and any future airline

Flight Attendant within the bargaining unit will be reduced in
status or
lose any income or employee benefits while discussions are taking
place.
|
2. |

referenced above, the dispute shall be handled in accordance with the procedures
set forth in Paragraph M, below of this Agreement. In any proceeding related
to
the enforcement of the obligations of this paragraph, the Company will not
raise
non-applicability of the Railway Labor Act as a defense. Disputes concerning

of
Adjustment, as set forth in this Agreement, and the decision of the System

in such cases shall be enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction
in the

acquire or establish another air carrier (alter-ego or otherwise)
to
replace flying performed by the Company or to avoid the terms and

|
K. |
Successors
|
1. |
This
Agreement shall be binding upon any successor including, but not
limited
to, any merged company or companies, purchaser, assign, assignee,
transferee, administrator, receiver, executor and/or trustee (hereinafter
“successor”), of the Company which acquires ownership and/or control of
all or substantially all of the equity securities and/or assets
of the
Company (a “Successor Transaction”). For the purpose of this paragraph, a
successor or assign shall be defined as an entity which acquires
all or
substantially all of the assets or equity of the Company through
a single
transaction or a multi-step related transaction which closes within
a
twelve (12) month period. The Company agrees to give written notice

any
Successor Transaction.
|
2. |
In
the event of a Successor Transaction, as defined in paragraph K.1.,
above,
the following provisions shall apply regardless of whether one
or more
than one carrier survives the transaction or whether formerly separate
operations are to be integrated:
|
a. |
Unless
and until any operational merger is finally effectuated, the Company
and/or the successor shall continue to recognize the Union as the
representative of the pre-transaction Company Flight Attendants,
so long
as such recognition is consistent with the Railway Labor Act and
any
applicable rulings or orders of the National Mediation Board.
|
b. |
Subject
to applicable securities and other laws and regulations, the Company
shall
review with the Union the details of any material agreements relating
to a
Successor Transaction in a timely manner, provided that no financial
or
other confidential business information need be disclosed unless
suitable
arrangements are made for protecting the confidentiality and use
of such
information.
|
c. |
The
Company, or the successor if different from the Company, shall
continue to
employ the Flight Attendants on the Chautauqua Flight Attendant
System
Seniority List, including any such Flight Attendants on leave or
furlough
status at the time of the Successor Transaction, subject to the
terms of
this Agreement.
|
d. |
Where
formerly separate operations eventually are to be integrated, the
Flight
Attendant groups shall be kept separate until their seniority lists
are
integrated in accordance with the requirements of this Section.
During
such time of separate operations, neither aircraft nor Flight Attendants
shall be interchanged without the Union’s written consent.
|
e. |
So
long as the Flight Attendant groups remain separate, the rates
of pay,
rules and working conditions set forth in this Agreement shall
be observed
with respect to the Flight Attendants whose names appear on the
Chautauqua
Flight Attendant System Seniority List.
|
L. |
Labor
Protective Provisions
|
The
Company shall not enter into any agreement to a Successor Transaction unless
the
other party to the transaction agrees in writing, as a condition of the
transaction, to (1) provide Labor Protective Provisions for Chautauqua Airlines
Flight Attendants no less favorable than the Labor Protective Provisions
specified by the CAB in Sections 3 and 13 of Allegheny-Mohawk relating to
fair
and equitable seniority integration; (2) assume the terms of this paragraph
L.
and paragraphs K. above and M. below. This paragraph L. shall remain in full
force and effect concurrently with this Flight Attendant Agreement and ensuing
Flight Attendant Agreements.
M. |
Any
grievance arising under this Article 1 shall be arbitrated on an
expedited
basis directly before the System Board of Adjustment pursuant to
Article
19 of the Agreement and the following provisions. If a mutually
agreed
upon arbitrator cannot be selected within three (3) days of the
submission
to the System Board, an arbitrator will be selected pursuant to
Article 19
of this Agreement, with selection to be completed within three
(3) days of
receipt of a list of proposed arbitrators. The dispute shall be
heard no
later than sixty (60) days following the submission to the System
Board
(subject to the availability of the arbitrator), and shall be decided
no
later than thirty (30) days following conclusion of the hearing.
The time
limits set forth in this paragraph may be extended only by written

2. |
Each
Flight Attendant’s schedule will be constructed by the Company utilizing
the PBS. The PBS will determine the number of Regular lines to
be
constructed. Until the PBS is capable of constructing CDO lines,
Composite
lines and/or Reserve lines that comply with this Agreement, the
Company
will manually construct such lines. All Regular lines, CDO lines,
Composite lines, and Reserve lines will be awarded and/or assigned
in
accordance with a Flight Attendant’s seniority, bid preferences and this

|
iv.) |
Flight
Attendants who bid reserve may bid preferences for: specific days
off,
weekends off, consecutive days off, training, and such other options
as
may be integrated into the PBS. Preferences will be awarded in
seniority

4. After
the
Company has completed the line construction process utilizing the PBS,
additional pairings will not be added to or removed from a Regular, CDO,
GLT or
Composite (other than reserve assignments) line except as otherwise provided
for
in this Agreement.
5. The
Company will complete the line construction process no later than forty-eight
(48) hours after the closing of bids. After the line construction process
has
been completed, the Company will notify the Scheduling Committee as far in
advance as practical of the time that the lines will be ready for review.
Before
distribution of the bid award, the Committee will have twenty-four (24) hours
to

the Union
as per Article 12 (Leaves of Absence).
|
c. |
The
Committee will promptly notify the Company if it discovers an error
or
violation of the Agreement in the lines. The Company will conduct
a re-run
of the bid award if a Regular, Composite or CDO line does not comply
with
the Agreement or contains an error resulting from a discrepancy
in the bid
eligibility list, a computer or software (PBS) malfunction or an
omission
of a known absence or activity. Any error or violation of the Agreement
in
a reserve line for a category will be corrected prior to distribution
of
the bid award for that category.
|
d. |
If
the Company conducts a re-run of the lines, the committee will
expedite
any additional review necessary to complete the process.
|
e. |
The
Union’s Scheduling Committee will notify the Company immediately if it

the Company and the Union agree otherwise, a re-run of a bid award will not
be
conducted once the bid award has been distributed.
F. Displacements
1. |
Following
distribution of the bid award, the Company may displace a Flight
Attendant
from her awarded or assigned pairing for the purpose of completing
another
Flight Attendant’s OE. The displaced Flight Attendant will either be
released from duty for the remainder of the day or reassigned to
a trip
scheduled to end within her original trip hour period. The Flight
Attendant will be credited with the greater of the value of the
trip
originally assigned or the trip to which she was reassigned, if
any.
|
2. |
If
more than one (1) Flight Attendant is assigned to the same trip,
the
senior Flight Attendant will have the choice of flying the trip
or not.
The Flight Attendant not flying the trip will either be reassigned
to a
trip, during the days spanning the original trip, or released from
duty
for the remainder of the day and will be credited with the greater
of the
value of the trip originally assigned or the trip to which she
is
reassigned, if any.
|
3. |
A
Flight Attendant who has been displaced from a trip pairing shall
contact
crew scheduling for assignment after 1700 base time on the day
before each
day of the trip from which displaced. (Agreed
6-1-04)
|
4. |
If
the Flight Attendant was originally assigned an out and back trip
pairing
or if it is the first day of a multi day trip, Crew Scheduling
may
reassign a trip according to the following:
|
a. |
If
the original report time was before 1000, then Crew Scheduling
may
reassign a trip pairing that starts at the original report time
or later.
|
b. |
If
the original report time was after 1000, then Crew Scheduling may
reassign
a trip pairing that starts no earlier than two (2) hours before
the
original report time, but no earlier than 1000.
|
5. |
On
subsequent days of a multi-day trip pairing, a Flight Attendant
will not
be reassigned a trip starting earlier than 1000 unless given the
assignment two (2) nights prior to the assignment without concurrence
of
the Flight Attendant.
|
6. |
The
reassignment will end no later than the originally assigned trip
pairing
without the Flight Attendant’s consent.
|
7. |
The
Flight Attendant will not be reassigned any type of reserve without
her
consent.
|
8.
|
If crew scheduling has no assignment at the time of contract from the Flight Attendant, then she shell be given the day(s) off free from duty. |
20
G. |

1. |
The
Company will post all open time by base, after the final bid award,
and
update the post on a continuous real time basis.
|
2. |
Open
time that becomes available during the bid period shall include
but not be
limited to; pairings or portions thereof dropped because of illness
or
injury, vacations, leaves of absence, training, charters, extra
sections,
other revenue flying, trips dropped for personal reasons or those
pairings
the PBS is unable to award or assign in the line construction process.
|
3. |
All
open time not awarded or assigned that becomes available after
the bids
are awarded or assigned will be picked up in the following order,
provided
that such assignment shall not conflict with the FAR or any other
provision of this Agreement:, provided, however, that open time
may be
assigned to an in-base reserve at any time.
|
a. |
Awarded
to any Flight Attendant in the Base where the Open time exists,
on a
first-come, first-served basis, who volunteers for the open time
assignment at least forty-eight (48) hours in advance of the scheduled
show time. This will not restrict Scheduling from awarding open
time
within forty eight (48) hours of the scheduled show time; then;
|
b. |
Awarded
to any other Flight Attendant from another base, on a first come,
first
served basis, who volunteered for open time at least forty-eight
(48)
hours in advance of the scheduled show time. This will not restrict
Scheduling from awarding open time within forty- eight (48) hours
of the
scheduled show time. The Out of Base Flight Attendant is responsible
for
getting to the assignment and back home from the assignment, then;
|
c. |
Assigned
to a reserve Flight Attendant from another base (this step may
be
skipped); then

Drops
|
A
Flight
Attendant may “Drop” trip(s) from her line as provided below. A Flight Attendant
may submit a request to Crew Planning/Scheduling at any time to drop a pairing.
If sufficient reserves are available the request will be approved. The Company
may deny a line holder’s request to drop a pairing if there is insufficient
reserve coverage to operate the pairing. Drop requests must be submitted
no
later than 48 hours prior to the report time of the trip. The 48 hour
requirement may be waived by the Company
a. |
Trip
drop(s) that are submitted seven (7) days or more prior to the
date of the
earliest proposed drop will be approved or denied at least forty-eight
(48) hours prior to the report time for the earliest trip being
dropped.
|
b. |
Trip
drop(s) that are submitted less than seven (7) days prior to the
date of
the earliest proposed drop will be approved or denied no later

and
all FAR and contractual legalities must be observed.
4. |
Offers
|
The
Company and the Union will continue to meet with the PBS vendor in developing
and implementing an electronic system whereby a Flight Attendant may “Offer”
trip(s) which she would like to drop from her line. If another Flight Attendant
selects the offered trip, and the exchange satisfies the requirements for
a
“mutual trade” as set out below, the trip will be dropped from the offering
Flight Attendant’s line and inserted into the adding Flight Attendant’s line.
Until the offered trip is selected by another Flight Attendant, and the offering
Flight Attendant has confirmed with Crew Scheduling that the trip has been
removed from her schedule, the offering Flight Attendant will remain responsible
for the trip(s). A selected trip must not conflict with any existing assignments
and all contractual legalities and FAR must be observed.
21
5. |
A
Flight Attendant who Drops, Offers or Adds will have her guarantee
adjusted either up or down to reflect the addition or reduction
of flight
time as provided in Article 3 (Compensation) of this Agreement.
|
6. |
Requests
for Drops, Adds or Offers may be made verbally over a recorded

A
Flight Attendant who has requested a trade will remain responsible
for her
original assignment until she has been notified that the trade
or drop has
been approved.
|
4. |
Mutual
trip trade requests may be submitted in writing (signed by both
Flight
Attendants), verbally over a recorded line with all parties involved
agreeing to the trade, via the internet, or through any other means
implemented in the future with the mutual agreement of the Company
and the
Union.
|
5. |
Trip
trades submitted to Crew Planning/Scheduling should be submitted
no less
than forty-eight (48) hours prior to the date of the earliest proposed
mutual trade. Crew Planning/Scheduling or the participating Flight
Attendants may waive the forty-eight (48) hour requirement.
|
6. |
Trip
trades must not violate any FAR or any section of this Agreement.
Crew
Planning/Scheduling may require up to a ninety (90) minute buffer
when
there is a potential for illegality under the FAR or this Agreement.
If a
trade is not approved, the Flight Attendant will be advised of
the
non-approval and the reasons for the denial.
|

|
2. |
Unless
provided for in 1 above, the Company may NOT directly contact a
Flight
Attendant during any layover that is less than nine (9) hours.
The Company
may attempt to make indirect contact with the Flight Attendant
through
means of hotel resources (such as, but not limited to, having the
desk

message at the front desk).
|
3. |
Should
a Flight Attendant be directly contacted during a layover outside
of the
limitations set forth in this paragraph, with the notable exception
of a
personal or family emergency affecting the Flight Attendant, the
Flight
Attendant’s minimum rest will be extended by 30 minutes. The Flight
Attendant may waive this requirement.
|
K. |
Modifications,
Reschedules
|
1. |
A
modification/reschedule is any change to a pairing after its first
distribution as a final bid award. The Company may modify a pairing
in
order to meet operational necessity within the original trip hour
period.
|
2. |
Unless
the Flight Attendant consents and/or other mutually agreed upon
arrangements are made between the Flight Attendant and Crew
Planning/Scheduling, a Flight Attendant’s pairing will not be modified to
extend the pairing into any of her days off for any reason except
for
circumstances beyond the control of the Company (e.g. weather,
mechanical).
|
3. |
All
rescheduling will be in accordance with and subject to all other
applicable provisions of this Agreement.
|
4. |
A
Flight Attendant holding a reserve line who has received a trip
assignment
may be rescheduled within the limitations of Articles 6 and 24
(Scheduling/Hours of Service).
|
5. |
After
the publication of the final bid award, a Flight Attendant holding
a
Regular or Composite line may be rescheduled within the limitations
of
Articles 6 and 24 (Scheduling/Hours of Service).
|
22
a. |
When
a Flight Attendant is rescheduled prior to the date on which a
pairing
(i.e. flight, ferry, training or deadhead assignment) is scheduled
to
commence, the following will apply:
|
i.) |
When
the Company notifies a line holder of a reschedule, the notification
will
be in a timely and appropriate manner.
|
ii.) |
The
Flight Attendant will not be given an assignment that is scheduled
to
operate earlier than the scheduled report time of her original
pairing
without the consent of the Flight Attendant unless the original
scheduled
report time was after 1000, in which case she may be assigned to
report
earlier than the original report time, but no earlier than 1000.
|
iii.) |
The
Flight Attendant will not be given an assignment with a scheduled
release
time more than two (2) hours later than the original scheduled
release
time, without the Flight Attendant’s consent. On a multiple day pairing,
the release time will be considered to be the scheduled release
time on
the last day of the originally scheduled assignment.
|
b. |
When
a Flight Attendant is rescheduled on the same day on which a flight
or
deadhead assignment is scheduled to operate, the Company will notify
the
Flight Attendant and, at its option:
|
i.) |
Direct
her to remain on rest if she has not reported for duty;
|
ii.) |
Assign
her to complete any remaining flight segment(s) in the pairing;
|
iii.) |
Assign
her to remain available for repositioning of the crew and/or aircraft;
|
iv.) |
Assign
her to another pairing with a scheduled release time no more than
2 hours
later than the scheduled release time on the last day of her original
pairing;
|
v.) |
Assign
her to remain “airport available” up to two (2) hours following
notification of rescheduling. While “airport available” the Flight
Attendant will remain readily available for any flight or deadhead
assignment with a scheduled release time no more than two (2) hours
later
than the scheduled release time of her original scheduled pairing.
If the
Flight Attendant has not been assigned after two (2) hours of “airport
available”, she is released.
|
vi.) |
Release
her from all duty. Once released, she will not be required to remain
telephone available for the duration of the original pairing. For
a
multi-day pairing, the Flight Attendant shall contact Crew Scheduling
after 1700 hours the day preceding each remaining day of the original
pairing. If there is no assignment she will be released for the
following
day.
|
vii.) |
Provided
the Flight Attendant supplies crew scheduling with contact information
while on a trip, notification of a modification or rescheduling
of the
Flight Attendant’s assignment will be by direct contact between
Scheduling/Planning and the affected Flight Attendant.
|
6. |
In
the event of an equipment substitution of a single Flight Attendant
aircraft for an aircraft scheduled with two Flight Attendants (e.g.
EMB
170- EMB 145, etc.), the senior Flight Attendant will have the
option of
working the modified pairing or becoming subject to reassignment
in
accordance with L. below. The junior Flight Attendant will then
either
work the modified pairing or be subject to reassignment in accordance
with
L. below.
|
L. |
A
Flight Attendant holding a Regular line who becomes subject to
rescheduling shall not be placed on reserve. Rescheduling must
be within
the limitations of Articles 6 and 24. A Flight Attendant scheduled
for a
single day trip will not be rescheduled for a multi-day trip. A
Flight
Attendant subject to be rescheduled pursuant to this section will
be paid
the greater of her actual or rescheduled trip, if any. A Flight
Attendant
who voluntarily “Adds” trips from Open Time, and whose trips are
subsequently canceled will not be required to be available on the
same
day(s) of her trip, nor will she be pay protected for the trip.
|
M. |
Reserve
Duty
|
1. |
General
|
a. |
When
the Company has a flight assignment to cover, Crew Scheduling will
call
reserve Flight Attendants in reverse order of seniority as long
as all
other factors are equal and taking into account operational requirements
for the base (e.g., a senior Flight Attendant on reserve is available
for
two (2) days and a junior Flight Attendant is available for four
(4) days.
A two (2) day trip is open. The senior Flight Attendant could be
assigned
if the Company felt it was in its best interest. If both Flight

D.
|
Grievance
Mediation
|
Unless
the parties agree to by-pass mediation, each case submitted to the System
Board
shall be submitted to mediation pursuant to the procedures outlined below.
1.
|
Mediation
proceedings conducted pursuant to this paragraph D. will be held
in the
city where the general offices of the Company are located or at
any other
location that the parties mutually agree on.
|
2.
|
Mediators
either will be provided by the National Mediation Board pursuant
to a
process agreed upon by the parties or by any other method mutually
agreed
upon by the parties. All mediator fees and expenses, including
the cost of
any conference facilities or materials, will be shared equally
between the
parties. Each party will bear the cost and expenses of its participants
in
the mediation.
|
3.
|
Cases
will be scheduled for mediation conference by mutual agreement
of the
parties and will be heard in the order in which they were filed
unless the
parties agree to a different order.
|
4.
|
The
issue mediated will be the same as the issue the parties have failed
to
resolve through the grievance process. The presentation of evidence
is not
limited to that presented at any previous step of the grievance
procedure.
The rules of evidence will not apply, and no transcript of the
mediation
conference will be made.
|
5.
|
If
an individual grievant(s) does not attend, the Union will have
full
authority to reach agreement and to act on behalf of the grievant(s)
to
resolve the grievance. Non-participating observers will not be
admitted
except by mutual agreement of the parties.
|
6.
|
Each
party’s representatives at the mediation conference will be familiar
with
and prepared to discuss the grievance(s) scheduled for that mediation
conference.
|
7.
|
The
mediation process will be informal. The mediator has authority
to meet
both jointly and separately with the parties; however, the mediator
has no
authority to compel resolution of the grievance.
|
8.
|
Upon
reaching a settlement, the parties will immediately reduce it to
writing,
and it will be signed by the Company, the Union and the grievant,
if
present.
|
9.
|
The
record of the mediation will be closed and inadmissible in any
subsequent
proceeding unless a written settlement is reached, in which case
the
record will be admissible solely to interpret or apply the settlement,
if
necessary.
|
10.
|
Either
party may request the Mediator give it an oral advisory opinion.
|
11.
|
Written
material presented to the Mediator or to the other party shall
be returned
to the party presenting that material at the termination of the
Mediation
Conference.
|
12.
|
If
a grievance that had been the subject of a mediation conference
is
subsequently heard before the System Board of Adjustment, the mediator
may
not serve as the Neutral Board Member of the System Board, nor
may he be
called as a witness by either party in the Board’s proceedings. During the
System Board proceedings on such grievance, no reference will be
made to
the fact that the grievance was the subject of a Mediation Conference;
nor
will there be any reference to statements made, documents provided,
or
actions taken by either the Mediator or participants during the
course of
a mediation conference, unless the party offering such statements,
documents or actions would have had access or entitlement to them
outside
of the mediation conference.
|
13.
|
By
agreeing to schedule a mediation conference, the parties are not
waiving
any procedural argument(s) that they have regarding the case. Both
the
Company and the Union reserve the right to raise jurisdictional
or
procedural issues notwithstanding their agreement to schedule such
conference.
|
14.
|
The
jurisdiction of the Mediator will not extend to proposed changes
in hours
of employment, rates of compensation or working conditions.
|
15.
|
Nothing
herein will preclude the parties from agreeing to other or different
methods of dispute resolution.
|
45
E.
Resolution
of Disputes -General
1.
|
Consistent
with other provisions of this article, a Flight Attendant shall
be
entitled to have a Union representative present at any step of
the
grievance procedure and at any other such time a Flight Attendant
is
requested to meet with a member of management where there
exists
the potential that such meeting may result in disciplinary action
being
taken against the Flight Attendant. Teleconferencing may be used
in lieu
of in-person investigations and hearings upon mutual agreement
of the
parties.
|
2.
|
Any
time
limits prescribed in this Article may be waived by mutual consent
of the
Company, on the one hand, and the grievant or the Union on the
other. If
any hearing or decision required of the Company under the provisions
of
this article is not provided within the time limits prescribed
herein, or
any extension mutually agreed upon, the Flight Attendant may consider
the
grievance denied and it shall automatically be appealed to the
next step
in the grievance procedure as specified in this Article.
|
3.
|
Nothing
in this agreement shall be construed to extend the right to arbitrate
a
grievance concerning her discipline or discharge to a probationary
Flight
Attendant, or to require that such discipline or discharge be based
on
just cause. The Company will not arbitrarily or capriciously discipline
or
discharge a probationary Flight Attendant. Probationary Flight
Attendants
shall have the right to submit grievances concerning non-disciplinary
issues.
|
4.
|
If,
as a result of any hearing or appeal therefrom as provided herein,
the
grievant is exonerated, she shall if she has been withheld from
service,
be reinstated without loss of seniority and shall be paid for such
time
lost in an amount which would have ordinarily
been earned had such Flight Attendant been continued in service
during
such period. The personnel records shall also be cleared of any
and all
charges related to that matter. The Board shall have the authority
to
order a party to comply with any provision(s) of the Agreement
as
necessary to remedy or correct violations or to require specific
performance of a provision of the Agreement.
|
5.
|
The
periods of time for hearings, decisions, and appeals established
in this
section shall be considered as maximum periods and when hearings,
decisions and appeals can be handled in a period of less than the
maximum
time stipulated, every effort will be made so as to expedite such
cases.
|
6.
|
Copies
of all notices and decisions shall be mailed to the grievant, and
the
Union. For the purposes of this section, "notice" may be certified
mail,
return
receipt requested, express delivery, or by hand delivery and, upon
request, may also be faxed.
|
7.
|
The
Union, or its representative, and the grievant shall have access
to the
grievant’s personnel file for review related to any complaint,
investigation or grievance related to any actual or potential disciplinary
action by the Company.
|
F.
The procedures set out in this Article shall be followed only in cases
pertaining to and covering alleged grievances, disputes, claims and causes
of
action arising or accruing and filed subsequent to the effective date of
this
Agreement.

hours
later than the original trip hour period, unless the Flight Attendant
agrees to a later schedule completion.

NEW
EQUIPMENT
Should
the Company announce its intent to place into revenue service aircraft with
seating capacity in excess of 99 seats, the rates and work rules specific
to
that aircraft type will be determined as follows:
1. |
The
Company will give the Union notice of its intent to introduce the
new
equipment at least six (6) months prior to the estimated scheduled
revenue
service date, or within thirty (30) days after entering into the

for procurement or lease of the new aircraft type, whichever is
later in
time.
|
2. |
The
parties will meet within (15) days following written request by
either
party to negotiate rates of pay for such aircraft type. Should
negotiations result in an agreement, the new aircraft type will
be flown
in accordance with the terms of the agreement. If negotiations
do not
result in an agreement within one hundred (100) days from the date
of
commencement of negotiations, either party may submit the dispute
to final
and binding interest arbitration.
|
3. |
The
dispute shall be heard before an Arbitrator selected in accordance
with
the procedures set forth in Article 19 (System Board of Adjustment).
|

The
Hearing will be conducted as soon as possible but in no event more
than
three (3) months after arbitrator selection, unless mutually agreed
otherwise. Briefing by the parties, if any, will be completed within
thirty (30) days after the hearing date. The Arbitrator shall issue
a
decision no later than sixty (60) days after the close of the hearing
or
of receipt of the parties brief, whichever is later.

5. |
Upon
final agreement, or issuance of the Arbitrator’s decision, as the case may
be, retroactive compensation, if applicable, will be paid to all
Flight
Attendants who operate a disputed aircraft type placed in revenue
service
before the parties’ agreement became effective or the award issued.
|
6. |
Nothing
set forth in this Article shall prevent the Company from introducing
a new
aircraft type into revenue service before agreement is reached
over the
rates and work rules applicable to that aircraft, as long as the
pay rates
assigned to such aircraft type are not less than the rates provided
in
Article 3 of this Agreement.

BASES
A Bases
1.
The
Company may establish or maintain a Flight Attendant base at any location
where
it establishes or maintains a pilot base.
2.
Should
the Company wish to establish or maintain a Flight Attendant base at a location
where it does not have a pilot base, the provisions set forth below shall
govern.
B. A
“Large”
base is defined as any base with at least twenty (20) hard lines (not including
build up or reserve lines) available for bid at that location and where the
Company flies routes that connect the base location with at least two (2)
other
airport locations (an airport that is flag stopped does not count toward
the two
(2) airports). No large base shall be opened unless the previous conditions
are
met or the Union and the Company have come to a mutual agreement.
C. A
“Small”
base is defined as any base that has fewer than twenty (20) hard lines but
no
fewer that eleven (11) hard lines. The Company may have a maximum of one
(1)
“small” base for every two (2) “large” bases. The criteria for a “small” base
shall be the same as for a “large” base, except that the minimum number of hard
lines shall be no fewer than eleven (11).
D. The
Company and the Union recognize that the above-stated criteria may fluctuate
periodically, but in the interest of stability, the Company would not normally
be required to close a non-conforming base unless one or both of the
above-stated criteria has not been met for at least a one (1) year
period.
E. Bases
must contain lines that contain overnight trips away from base.
F. Hybrid
Bases
1.
A Hybrid Base is any new base that opens after the date of signing
of the
Agreement that does not comply with the criteria specified in B.
or C
.above.
|
2.
In order for the Company to open and maintain a hybrid base, the
following
conditions must apply:
|
a) |
The
aircraft assigned to the new base must be a result of expansion/growth
and
not simply relocation of company
flying.
|
b) |
The
base will have a minimum of two (2) aircraft to cover the flying
assigned
to the new base. The Company shall be allowed three (3) months
to place
both aircraft into service.
|
c) |
If
a hybrid base does not comply with the criteria set forth in paragraphs
B.
or C. within eighteen (18) months from the date of opening, it
will be
closed unless it is otherwise mutually agreed by the parties to
keep the
base open.
|
3.
There is no minimum number of cities these bases must
serve.
|
4.
All vacancies will be filled with volunteers only. No Flight Attendant
will be displaced or forced to fill these
vacancies.
|
5.
The Company cannot restructure or close any current base and then
reopen
it to take advantage of the provisions of this
section.
|
6.
The Company cannot restructure or close any base meeting the criteria
set
forth in paragraphs A. or B. and then reopen it as a hybrid base
to take
advantage of the provisions of this
section.

G. In
the
event of a dispute over any section of Article 25 (Bases) and a similar dispute
exists with the pilots, the resolution of the Pilot dispute will control.

If
the parties are unable to confirm whether a Flight Attendant who
is
interned or unlawfully detained is alive or dead, compensation
and other
benefits shall continue to be paid by the Company to the beneficiaries
(or
trust account) indicated in the Flight Attendant's letter of instruction
to the Company for a period of eighteen (18) months, after such
Flight
Attendant was last known to be alive. At the end of that eighteen
(18)
month period, if the Flight Attendant's status is still unconfirmed,
death
and survivor benefits shall be
paid.
|
F. |
If
a Flight Attendant who has been paid death/survivor benefits pursuant
to
this Article 5 is later found to be alive, he shall receive retroactively
the difference in pay between the total compensation (including
death
benefits) paid by the Company under this section and the monthly
amounts
he would have been due under this section had the Company known
he was
alive. If the Flight Attendant remains interned or imprisoned,
monthly
payments shall then be resumed for the duration of internment or
imprisonment. If the death/survivor benefits are greater than the
benefits
provided pursuant to this section, the Flight Attendant shall reimburse
the Company for the excess
received.
|
G. |
The
monthly compensation set forth in Paragraph A. above, will be credited
to
such Flight Attendant on the books of the Company and will be distributed
according to written directions from the Flight Attendant. The
Company
will require each Flight Attendant to execute and deliver to the
Company a
written direction in the form set forth in Paragraph I.
below.
|
H. |
If
a Flight Attendant due compensation under this Article has not
completed a
direction per Paragraph G. above, or the written direction does
not cover
the situation, such compensation will be held in an interest bearing
account at a federally-insured financial institution until the
Flight
Attendant is found or released and is able to claim the compensation.
In
the event of the Flight Attendant’s death, the proceeds of said account
will be paid to the legal representative of the Flight Attendant’s
estate.

B. |
Definitions
|
1. |
Sick
Pay - is pay to an eligible Flight Attendant who cannot perform
her
regular duties because of sickness or non-occupational injury,
including
maternity. Sick pay may also be utilized when a Flight Attendant's
presence would jeopardize the health of others because of exposure
to a
contagious disease. Sick pay does not cover time for routine physical
examinations or dental check-ups. Pay during a period of sick absence
will
be based on the Flight Attendant's base rate and scheduled hours.
(i.e.
Line holders will be paid and have time deducted from their sick
bank on a
“trips missed” basis and reserves will be paid and have 4.0 hours deducted
from their sick bank for each day they are on sick leave.
|
2. |
Worker's
Compensation Temporary Disability Pay - is pay to an eligible Flight
Attendant unable to work because of an injury on the job at the
Company.
|
a. |
The
injury must be one that is covered by the applicable state worker’s
compensation law and must be verified in writing by the treating
physician.
|
b. |
Payment
for occupational injury by the Company's insurance carrier, or
the state,
is generally set at a percentage of the Flight Attendant's average
weekly
wage. However, this rate and the maximum weekly payment may vary
from
state to state.
|
3. |
State
Mandated Benefits - are disability income benefits required by
law in
certain states. State mandated benefits may include or require
payments
from an outside source.
|
4. |
In
no event may a Flight Attendant be entitled to state mandated benefits
and
sick pay in excess of the Flight Attendant's rate of pay in excess
of her
monthly line award, or when she is absent for an entire bid month,
her
monthly guarantee.
|

C. |
Sick
Leave Accrual
|

|
D. |
Commencement
and Payment of Paid Sick Time
|
1. |
When
a Flight Attendant other than a Reserve Flight Attendant loses
time
because of illness or injury she will be credited with the scheduled
time
of any trip lost to the extent she has sick leave accrued. A Flight
Attendant absent for a full month because of illness or injury
who has not
been awarded a monthly schedule will be credited with the minimum
monthly
guaranteed hours to the extent she has sick leave accrued.
|
2. |
A
Reserve Flight Attendant will be credited with three hours thirty
minutes
(3.5 hours) for each day of schedule reserve day missed as a result
of
injury or illness as defined above. The Reserve Flight Attendant
will not
have the monthly guarantee reduced because of injury or illness
provided
she has enough sick hours accrued to cover the missed days.
|
3. |
If
a Flight Attendant becomes unable to perform her duties due to
illness
while on a trip, and cannot return to her base, she will be provided
lodging, if necessary, until she can return to her base.
|
E. |

Flight Attendant will make one (1) call to Crew Scheduling to notify
them
that she is unable to report to work due to illness or injury.
During the
call she will advise them of the anticipated duration of her absence.
If
the anticipated duration changes, the Flight Attendant will notify
Crew
Scheduling. When the Flight Attendant is ready to return to work,
she will
call Crew Scheduling to notify them of her return date.
|
2. |
If
the Flight Attendant’s availability to return to work is in the middle of
a multi-day pairing, the Company will reinstate the Flight Attendant
into
her pairing in domicile at the earliest possible time. By mutual
agreement
between the Flight Attendant and Crew Scheduling, the Flight Attendant
may
return to her trip at a location other than her base, or be assigned
to
another trip within the days of her original trip.
|
3. |
A
Flight Attendant may use accrued sick leave to receive pay for
FMLA-covered absences due to illness or injury of a spouse or child.
|
F. |
Exhaustion
of Sick Pay
|
When
a
Flight Attendant who is unable to work due to illness or injury exhausts
her
accrued sick leave, the Flight Attendant will be placed on an unpaid medical
leave of absence. A Flight Attendant will not accrue Sick Pay while on a
medical
leave of absence.
G. |
Travel
While on Sick Pay Status
|
Flight
Attendants on sick pay status may use their pass privileges or reduced rate
travel for personal travel. Eligible family members (and buddies if accompanied
by the Flight Attendant's spouse or other eligible family pass rider), are
permitted to travel while the Flight Attendant is in a paid status. To allow
time for family members to return from trips in progress or be notified to
make
alternate travel arrangements, eligible family members may continue to travel
for thirty (30) days from the date an Flight Attendant’s status changes to
"unpaid" (i.e., a Flight Attendant has exhausted her accrued sick leave).
H. |
Request
for Medical Documentation
|
The
Company may request a doctor’s note after a Flight Attendant has been off duty
due to illness or injury in excess of three (3) consecutive days or where
there
may be suspected abuse.

Worker’s
Compensation Temporary Disability payments will be made directly
to the
Flight Attendant by the Worker's Compensation carrier (or the state)
in
the amount equal to the statutory requirements.
|
3. |
At
the option of the Flight Attendant, payments will be made to the
Flight

VACATIONS
A. |
Vacation
Policy
|
1. |
All
Flight Attendants are eligible for paid vacation. The rate at which
a
Flight Attendant accrues vacation is based on the Flight Attendant's
Company seniority. The number of days a Flight Attendant actually
accrues
vacation, to be used in the next year, is based on the Flight Attendant's
accrual rate and the number of pay periods the Flight Attendant
is active
in the current year.
|
2. |
Accrual
Schedule - The number of vacation hours a Flight Attendant actually
receives will be based on her accrual rate and the number of pay
periods
the Flight Attendant is active in the prior year. The Flight Attendant
must be at work, on paid sick leave, on vacation, or on a Company-offered
leave of absence for at least fifteen (15) or more days in a month
in
order to be considered to be an active Flight Attendant for vacation
accrual purposes.
|
The
number of vacation hours earned is based on the following rate of accrual:

full
payment for unused vacation time credited from the previous year
as well
as vacation accrued in the year of separation.
|
4. |
A
Flight Attendant who has not accrued six (6) months of Company
seniority
is not eligible for vacation pay upon termination.
|
5. |
In
the event of the Flight Attendant's retirement, permanent disability
or
death, current year accruals will also be
paid.
|
6. |
A
Flight Attendant may elect any of the following options in connection
with
unused vacation:
|
a. |
Elect
to be paid for remaining vacation. Pay-out will be made on the
first
paycheck following January 1st of the next year, or
|
b. |
In
lieu of taking time off, she will be paid at her current hourly
rate for
each Vacation Hour exchanged. A maximum of sixty (60) hours may
be
exchanged each month.
|
c. |
Elect
to carry over the remaining vacation to the next year, provided,
however,
that no more than 1.5 times the current year’s accrual may be carried
over.
|
d. |
In
the event of a Flight Attendant’s death, the amount will be paid to her
estate.
|
e. |
Upon
the effective date of this Agreement, Flight Attendants may elect
to
convert existing PDO hours to accrued vacation hours, up to a maximum
of
the equivalent of twenty-four (24) months’ vacation accrual as set out in
A.2 above (e.g., a Flight Attendant with 5 years of service may
convert up
to 72 PDO hours to vacation hours; a Flight Attendant with 9 years
of
service may convert up to 108 hours). The remaining PDO hours,
if any,
shall be converted to sick bank hours or cashed out, or any combination
there of.

B. |
Vacation
Bidding
|
1. |
Vacations
will be bid on a system wide basis and awarded by Flight Attendant
Seniority.

hours) may
be designated for VAC-DAT usage as provided below.
|
4. |
The
weekly allotment of vacation will be no more than 40% below and
no more
than 25% higher than the annualized weekly average number of vacation
weeks available for bid.
|

be
automatically approved, provided the request is submitted in the month prior
to
bidding for the month in which the VAC-DAT is requested. (For example, requests
for automatic approval for the month of April must be submitted in the February
bid process for award with the March bid awards, so that the VAC-DAT will
be on
the schedule at the time the Flight Attendant bids for her April schedule.)
If
more than one Flight Attendant bids for the same or overlapping VAC-DAT
period(s), or if the number of bids exceeds the number of awards in the chart
above, awards will be made in seniority order. Requests not eligible for
automatic approval will be reviewed and if approved, the Flight Attendant
will
be notified on the “pre-assigns” prior to bidding for the month.

a request has been properly made, the VAC-DAT must be taken as
scheduled
unless agreed to otherwise by the Flight Attendant and the Supervisor.

ATTENDANCE
POLICY
A. |
Introduction
/ Statement of Policy
|
1. |
The
Union and the Company are committed to a fair and reasonable Attendance
Policy that is designed to recognize and encourage good attendance
and
provide fair treatment for any Flight Attendant who is absent or
late for
work excessively. It is each Flight Attendant’s responsibility to report
to work on time and to work the full schedule. It is also recognized
that
on occasion Flight Attendants (or immediate family members) experience
sickness that prevents the employee from coming to work or Flight
Attendants may be late to work for reasons beyond their
control.
|
2. |
Tracking
attendance, absences or tardiness is not intended to reflect negatively
on
any Flight Attendant. Absences / tardiness are noted only to ensure,
that
in rare instances of excessive absenteeism from the job, Flight
Attendants
are treated impartially and fairly.
|
3. |
All
Flight Attendants are expected to return to active status after
any
absence or leave as soon as they are capable of resuming their
job duties
including returning to work for a remaining portion of their trip
or
schedule. Each Flight Attendant is required to personally contact
Crew
Scheduling as soon as possible regarding her absence or tardiness,
unless
unable to do so for reasons beyond her
control.
|
4. |
Attendance
/ tardiness records are not part of a Flight Attendant’s personnel record
unless disciplinary action is necessary. The actual attendance
record will
be maintained by the InFlight
Supervisor.
|
5. |
Abuse
of sick leave benefits is a violation of this policy and is subject
to
corrective action up to and including termination. An example of
abuse may
be, taking days off under the guise of illness when not actually
ill.
|
B. |
Occurrences
of Absenteeism / Tardiness /
Lateness
|
The
focus
of this program shall be frequency of "occurrences" of absenteeism / tardiness
/
lateness based on a cumulative occurrence system. An occurrence shall be
a
continuous absence from scheduled duty or reporting late for work. Occurrences
of absenteeism may vary in duration according to the nature of the event
from a
missed leg to several weeks or more for a single event. In accordance with
Article 27, Sick Leave, of the Collective Bargaining Agreement, a Flight
Attendant will “…make one (1) call to Crew Scheduling to notify them that she is
unable to report to work due to illness or injury. During the call she will
advise them of the anticipated duration of her absence. If the anticipated
duration changes, the Flight Attendant will notify Crew Scheduling. When
the
Flight Attendant is ready to return to work, she will call Crew Scheduling
to
notify them of her return date.….” Any absence within that period of time is
considered one occurrence.

1. |
Step
#1- Verbal Warning:
|
After
the
accumulation of four (4) occurrences as defined in this policy within an
active
rolling twelve-month period, the Flight Attendant may be notified by her
Supervisor that her attendance is a problem that needs her corrective attention.
In addition, during this discussion, the Attendance Policy will be reviewed,
and
a copy provided to the Flight Attendant, to ensure the Flight Attendant
understands the policy and the disciplinary steps that may be taken if absences
/ tardiness continue. The Flight Attendant is to sign that they have received
a
copy of the Attendance Policy. This First Warning will be placed in her
personnel file.
2. |
Step
#2 - Written Warning
|
After
accumulating six (6) occurrences within an active rolling twelve-month period
a
disciplinary letter may be issued to the Flight Attendant that her attendance
is
at an unacceptable level and that it requires her immediate attention to
correct
it. This letter will warn of further disciplinary action up to and including
termination of employment if absences or tardiness continue. This Written
Warning Letter will be placed in their personnel file.
3. |
Step
#3 - Final Warning/Suspension
|
When
a
Flight Attendant incurs seven (7) occurrences of tardiness/absenteeism within
an
active rolling twelve-month period the Flight Attendant may be issued a final
written warning letter that her tardiness or attendance continues to be at
an
unacceptable level which will include a disciplinary suspension of three
(3)
unpaid days off as determined by Management. The Flight Attendant must realize
that this is the last warning before termination. This Final Warning Letter
will
be placed in her personnel file.
4. |
Step
#4 - Discharge or Termination
|
If
the
Flight Attendant accumulates eight (8) occurrences within an active rolling
twelve-month period and the Flight Attendant has failed to correct her
absenteeism / tardiness after receiving a first written warning, a second
written warning, and/or a final warning of termination with suspension, as
provided in Steps #1 - #3 above, the Flight Attendant may be subject to
termination of employment.
F. |
Management
Guidelines
|
1. |
Flight
Attendant disciplinary actions should be administered by the appropriate
Supervisor within five (5) working days after the Flight Attendant
returns
to work unless unusual circumstances
prevail.
|
2. |
This
policy supersedes Section 1 of the Attendance Policy set out in
Chapter 8
of the Company’s Associate Handbook as it relates to Flight Attendants,
but does not supersede any other published policies or
guidelines.
|
G. |
A
Flight Attendant may request union representation and/or file a
